Review: The Light at Wyndcliff (Cornwall #3) by Sarah E. Ladd

Synopsis

In the third book of this sweet Regency Cornwall series, one young man must search for truth among the debris of multiple shipwrecks on his newly inherited property.

When Liam Twethewey inherits the ancient Wyndcliff Hall in Pevlyn, Cornwall, he sets a goal of fulfilling his late great-uncle’s dream of opening a china clay pit on the estate’s moorland. When he arrives, however, a mysterious shipwreck on his property—along with even more mysterious survivors—puts his plans on hold.

Evelyn Bray has lived in Pevlyn her entire life. After her grandfather’s fall from fortune, he humbled himself and accepted the position of steward at Wyndcliff Hall. Evelyn’s mother, embarrassed by the reduction of wealth and status, left Pevlyn in search of a better life for them both, but in spite of her promise, never returns. Evelyn is left to navigate an uncertain path with an even more uncertain future.

When the mysteries surrounding the shipwreck survivors intensify, Liam and Evelyn are thrown together as they attempt to untangle a web of deceit and secrets. But as they separate the truths from the lies, they quickly learn that their surroundings—and the people in it—are not as they seem. Liam and Evelyn are each tested, and as a romance buds between them, they must decide if their love is strong enough to overcome their growing differences.

Review

It's a delightful story and I absolutely loved it.

Set in the Regency era, this novel tells us a story of two young people with different backgrounds, desires, and hopes. As we get to know them better, learn about their backstories, we fall more and more in love with them. Both Evelyn and Liam are interesting characters and I think that their story is definitely worth reading. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to all historical fiction fans. This is a really good novel and even though I haven't read the previous two books in the series, I don't feel that it affected my reading experience. It's more of a stand-alone novel.

For me, the best part of the story was the mystery mixed with romance. The story intrigued me from the start and kept my full attention until the end. All in all, an exceptionally written historical fiction which I consider a must-read, especially for those who love Regency romance novels.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
